They are screaming about collapse in all forms and now hollaring that the supply chain problems may lead to a lack of formula for the sprogs that will grow up and put more strain on the planet.

One guy was complaining that his wife's place of work is not giving enough space and time for "pumping" which apparently they have to do more off out there in the world due to this shortage. So once again employers have to deal with this

Why does a healthy lactating moo need expensive formula, and why should the feds cover that cost?

This seems to be a going excuse for moos to demand their own private office that is large enough to accommodate all their crap, so in other words someone with a title is going to have to give up their office. Companies got wise to this and now have moo rooms, where moos can pump. Kind of like people insisting on a place to pray (their own private office, of course, with room for one of those decent sized rugs) and being at some perfect angle to the sun and there now being prayer rooms in some companies.
And you know if they did get their own special office they would continue to milk the pumping excuse even while their brat is in elementary school, because they aren't going to give up their exalted status without a fight.

That's the thing, the average American Moo probably isn't healthy. If she's poor, she probably eats like shit because "food" is cheaper than food. Most people don't get adequate vitamins and all that from what they eat, meaning that her udder drippings will not be nutritionally sound for the loaf. Other women might be on medications that can taint boob juice and make the loaf sick. I see the need for formula because some women do not have healthy tit milk and some may not produce enough milk to sustain their loaves, so they have to stuff something in their faces if they don't want the little turds to starve.

That's what WIC and TANF are for.

Congress is getting suspicious of the formula shortages too. Maybe this will lead to a broader look at the whole shortage mess.

Any CF who’s had to deal with this shit will appreciate this. At my work there used to be a spare office where some of us would take our breaks. It was a nice place to get away and have some privacy and quiet. One gal even had a papasan chair in there where she would relax. Then over the course of several months, a series of 3 cows in a neighboring department who’d recently sluiced discovered it and started using it as a pumping room at various times all through the day. Damn but if this didn’t piss us off because there was nothing we could do about it, because of course their need to pump their udders took supreme priority, and making a fuss to manglement would have been pointless and made *us* look like the assholes, even though the cows took it over without asking anyone. Besides, even those in my office who’d had kids were grossed out by going in there after the boob-draining started, so we lost our nice little break room.
As for the brat formula shortage, no fucking sympathy. Breeders create their own problems with their shitty life choices, and this is just another example. Now they’re in competition with each other for finding brat formula, which is fucking hilarious. Maybe this will be a wake-up call for wannabreeds to reconsider shitting out loaves….but I’m not holding my breath.

In 2021, less than a quarter of U.S. workers had any access to paid family leave through their employer, and relatively few employers offer other kinds of support for lactating mothers. “The shock of having to go back to work six weeks after delivering a new baby is terribly disruptive to breastfeeding access,” Steven Abrams, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Texas’s Dell Medical School, told me.

But breastfeeding cannot—and never has—fully addressed the nutritional needs of every baby. Some newborns latch poorly or have allergies; some mothers find nursing physically or psychologically difficult; some babies are adopted.

For babies with medical conditions, as well as older kids and adults whose lives similarly depend on access to specialty nutritional formulas, the situation is nearing catastrophe.

One of those reasons is that nursing acts as birth control for many women. This lactational amenorrhea method is found to be 98% effective if the baby is six months or younger and is breastfed without long intervals and the mother isn’t menstruating.
Some mothers decide to stop nursing so that they can try to have more children. Imagine being a nursing mother who hopes to become pregnant again so is considering turning to formula. The baby formula shortage makes that a tougher choice.
